Why is D-Mannose in both products?

D-Mannose locks onto bacteria in the urinary tract so they can be flushed out. In Uqora Target, D-Mannose binds to newly introduced bacteria and Uqora Target flushes the bacteria out of the system with the right combination of flow and immune system boosters. In Uqora Control, our ingredients inhibit bacterial growth and break up biofilm so that free bacteria are then bound by D-Mannose, providing a 1-2 punch. D-Mannose is powerful, but it needs to be activated to then remove the bacteria from the urinary tract.

Uqora Control gives you defense against recurring UTIs that aren’t linked to specific activities. Uqora Control works in 4 ways:

Breaks up biofilm, the tool that bacteria use to hide temporarily, unveiling themselves later.

Inhibits the growth of bacteria.

Binds with UTI-causing bacteria in your urinary tract so that you can safely flush bacteria out of your system.

Protects the kidneys from the damage of recurring UTIs and provides day-to-day health benefits with anti inflammatories and powerful antioxidants.

Uqora ControlBacteria protected by biofilm

Uqora Control breaks up biofilm and fights bacteria with antimicrobial activity, making it harder for them to grow.

Uqora Control flushes out bacteria that found its way into your urinary tract, and bacteria that may have been hiding via biofilm.

How is Uqora different from cranberry juice and extracts?

Cranberry juice and extracts are ineffective, as highlighted by the American Medical Association’s study that confirmed: “it is time to move on from cranberries.” You would need to drink gallons of cranberry juice to get close to the effects of Uqora. Uqora’s active ingredients are found in trace amounts in fruits like cranberry but in very low concentrations. Uqora is the most effective product available designed with the best available clinical research.

Can I take Uqora Control with things other than water?

Yes. You can take Uqora Control with 8-12 ounces of whatever fluid you prefer most.

What time of day should I take Uqora Control?

You can take two tablets of Uqora Control once per day at any time of day, but we do recommend being consistent with whatever time of day you take Uqora Control. (I.e. if you start taking Uqora Control in the morning, then take it in the morning each day.)

Is Uqora a medicine? Or a treatment?

Uqora Control is not a medicine or a treatment, but intended for prevention only. If you have a UTI, we recommend you schedule a visit with your doctor.

Does it work for men?

Yes! While less common, men also get UTIs. Uqora Control works for men the same way it does for women.

I started getting more UTIs around/after menopause. Is Uqora Control a good solution for me?

Yes. As women age, we become more at risk of recurrent UTIs. With growing age, the immune system weakens, making women more vulnerable to not just UTIs, but all infections. Plus, menopause causes significant changes in hormones. This can affect the makeup of vaginal bacteria, which can protect the urinary tract by making it more difficult for dangerous bacteria to infect the vagina and travel to the urinary tract where they can cause an infection. Uqora Control helps you stay healthy on a daily basis and fight bacteria and biofilm to avoid recurrent infections.

How do we know it works?

New research has shown that Uqora Control's ingredients not only have the power to inhibit the biofilm that bacteria use to hide themselves, but also to prevent the growth of those bacteria, and even kill the bacteria. Uqora Control’s ingredients are excreted in the urine, where they can take action. Once in the urinary tract, Uqora Control’s ingredients can enact their antimicrobial properties and attack the bacteria that might be living there.

In addition to playing a role in reducing the risk of recurrent UTIs, Uqora Control's ingredients
can help protect from the damage UTIs can do to the body. Over time, UTIs can cause
permanent injury to the kidneys, and the antioxidant properties of Uqora Control's ingredients
have been shown to specifically protect the kidneys from damage.

Clinical research also shows other daily benefits of Uqora Control's ingredients, which include
improved joint health, reduced free-radicals, improved immune response (curcumin - the active ingredient in turmeric) and improved metabolism, improved cardiovascular health, and potent anti-oxidant potential (EGC - an active ingredient in Green Tea). Typically, curcumin has poor bioavailability, meaning not much of it can be absorbed, but studies show that ingesting it with black pepper (found in Uqora Control) increases bioavailability up to 2,000%.

Uqora Control provides a clinically-backed, multi fold
approach to fight existing biofilm and bacteria in the urinary tract

How does Uqora Target work together with Uqora Control?

Uqora Control and Uqora Target is the dynamic duo that we've designed to cover all of your bases.

You can think about it like this: Uqora Target stops new bacteria from entering your urinary tract,
and Uqora Control squashes any bacteria that might already be lurking in your urinary tract, which can cause UTIs to come out of nowhere.

Uqora Target packs a punch—with higher volumes of UTI-fighting ingredients, a gentle diuretic
to increase urinary flow, and immune-boosting ingredients, all at exactly the right time and with
the perfect doses. It's there for you during those vulnerable moments.

Uqora Control is there for you on the day-to-day, to keep fending off the sneaky bacteria that
may be hiding in your urinary tract from a past infection (through a process called biofilm). It also includes powerful anti inflammatories and antioxidants to keep you in tip-top shape.

Do you suggest everyone drink Uqora Target and take Uqora Control daily?

The combination of Uqora Target and Uqora Control give more complete protection than either product alone. If you are not always sure what's causing your UTIs, we strongly recommend adding Uqora Control to your regimen and drinking Uqora Target after sex and exercise.

Can I try just one of the products, or do I have to buy them together?

Of course! You can purchase each product separately. If, for example, your UTIs are always caused by sex, drinking one glass of Uqora Target after intimacy may be a sufficient prevention regimen.

How do I know if I'm resistant to antibiotics?

If you have gone through a round of antibiotics, and your infection has not cleared, you may be resistant to that antibiotic. We recommend you speak with your doctor if you have concerns about being resistant to an antibiotic.

How does bacteria stay hidden in your urinary tract?

Bacteria use a mechanism called biofilm to stay hidden. The bacteria group together and form a protective shield inside your cells. Within the biofilm they can potentially avoid your immune cells as well as antibiotics. Bacteria may lay dormant inside of these biofilms until your immune system is weak, at which time they will release themselves and establish a new infection.
